While the recent floods have brought death and devastation to my beloved home state of Louisiana, predictably the Democrat powers that be are playing politics.

One would think that even the Democrats would find little to criticize about Donald Trump helping to unload an 18-wheeler of supplies to bring some much-needed relief to the people of Louisiana. You would hope that the Democrats would abandon partisan gamesmanship for just a few days in the interest of the people.

Unfortunately, I know the Democrats better than that.

You see, for most of my life I was a Democrat. Like many of my brothers and sisters, I bought into the lie that the Democrats were the party that cared about the lives of black people.

A few years ago, I could no longer turn a blind eye to the results of the Democrat’s decades of failure. I could no longer pretend not to see what the Democrats had done to the people, to the state and to our great nation.
